Red State: Members of House Freedom Caucus Warn McCarthy That 3 Urgent 'Actions' Must Be in Debt Ceiling Deal

Front Page Magazine: DHS: First You Watch FOX News, Then PragerU, Then You Become a Nazi
Counter-extremism funding is being used as a tool to suppress political opposition under the Biden administration, with organizations including Fox News, Breitbart News, and the National Rifle Association being targeted by the University of Dayton's "media literacy and online critical thinking initiatives" program. The program, which was initially designed to prevent terrorism, has now been rebranded to combat "all forms of terrorism and targeted violence," with a focus on the political right and Christians rather than actual violence prevention. This is a coordinated effort to turn America into a one-party system and criminalize political dissent.

Paxton has faced FBI investigation into allegations that he used his office to help a donor. A vote on the recommendation could come as soon as Friday. Paxton has pleaded not guilty to two felony counts and has yet to stand trial.
Front Page Magazine: Biden's Antisemitism Strategy Fails to Condemn BDS, Includes CAIR
Biden's U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism fails to address Muslim and leftist antisemitism, and only briefly mentions campus and attacks on Orthodox Jews. It promotes the Nexus definition of antisemitism, which defends BDS and anti-Israel positions. The strategy also brings in CAIR, which has defended Islamic terrorism against Jews, and fails to identify other sources of antisemitism besides white supremacy.
Red State: Comer Reveals Tantalizing Tidbits About Biden 'Bribery' Form, Contempt Coming for Wray
The House Oversight Committee issued a subpoena for the FD-1023 Biden ‘bribery’ form, which allegedly says that money was exchanged with a foreign national for Biden to make certain policy decisions. The FBI has been stonewalling about turning over the document, despite pressure from House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, and has been asking for another meeting. The subpoena has been narrowed down to “June 30, 2020” and “five million,” which is believed to be the bribery amount. If the FBI fails to produce the form by May 30, the Committee will proceed with contempt proceedings. It is speculated that the bribery may pertain to Ukraine, as there was $5 million in cash allegedly offered as a bribe to end an investigation of natural gas company Burisma’s founder Mykola Zlochevsky, who hired Hunter Biden. However, Joe Biden denied involvement in the matter.

Breitbart: 2024 Presidential Race: Old, White Democrats v. Young, Diverse GOP
The presidential race presents a contrast between old white Democrats and young diverse Republicans. The media portrays Republicans as white supremacists, but the GOP field is actually quite diverse, with only two of the seven candidates being old and white.

Breitbart: South Korea's Birth Rate Collapse Is Putting Pediatricians out of Business
South Korea's low birth rate – the world’s lowest – is causing a rapid decrease in population, which could mean a 50% drop in residents by 2100. The drop is so severe that Seoul has lost one in ten of its pediatric clinics in the past five years since a low birth rate is restricting the number of kids to care for. In a poll published in March, only a little over half of Korean women were willing to give birth – a trend that could damage the nation's future economy and workforce. One significant barrier to reversing this trend is a growing hostility to children, with a rise of “no-kid zones” – cafes, restaurants, libraries, and museums – which discourage families in public life.
Red State: Bud Light to Sponsor Three Different Pride Events, Proving It Learned Zero From Dylan Mulvaney Disaster
Bud Light is set to sponsor three different Gay Pride events, despite the brand's lackluster performance and Anheuser-Busch InBev stock taking a beating. While the beer brand continues to hemorrhage customers and profits, it has splashed out for high-level "presenting" sponsorships of the St. Louis and Columbus, Ohio, pride parades, as well as the Cincinnati parade. A document from Stonewall Columbus specifies that the "diamond" sponsorship tier requires companies to donate $20,000 and agree to volunteer with the organization for 8 hours each calendar year. With Bud Light's sales continuing to fall, boycotters are having a direct effect on the corporation.
Fox News: Target CEO defends Pride display adjustments while vowing LGBTQ support: 'This has been a very hard day'

Target confirmed that adjustments to the Pride merchandising plans were underway. Despite Cornell's support of DEI campaigns being good business, Target's market shares slipped 1.6% and dropped more than 12.6% since the uproar erupted a week ago.

Breitbart: Report: Ukraine War Is Fueling ‘Green Energy’ Financing Boom
Clean energy investments have surpassed fossil fuel investments due to concern over volatile energy prices and the cutoff of oil and gas from Russia during the Ukraine conflict. The International Energy Agency found clean energy investment is predicted to hit $1.7tn in 2023, whereas fossil fuel investment will top at just over $1tn. The investment in clean energy is all encompassing and includes renewables, nuclear power, grids, storage, low-emissions fuels, efficiency improvements and heat pumps. However, concern has been raised by the IEA that emerging and developing economies are falling far short of the clean energy aspirations, with higher interest rates, weak grid infrastructure and a high cost of capital, all playing a role in holding back investment.

President Biden vetoed a bipartisan bill on Thursday which would have nullified the Washington, D.C., Council’s 2022 criminal justice reform act. The Senate recently voted 53-46 to nullify it and keep in certain police protections and criminal punishments, but the president’s veto of that Senate bill now allows D.C.’s reform amendment to proceed. Republican Senator J.D. Vance of Ohio criticized Biden’s decision and said that residents, tourists and D.C. metro police deserved better.
The credit of the United States is in danger of being downgraded due to the debt ceiling negotiations between President Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

The Epoch Times: Cleaning Up after Dogs and Root Canals: What Australians Would Rather Deal With Than Their Taxes
Tax time can be a stressful period for Australians, with almost one in three experiencing stress during the process. Additionally, a survey of over 1,000 Australians found that many would rather do other unpleasant activities, such as picking up their dog’s feces, than complete their tax return. Women were more likely to lack knowledge and understanding of the tax process, while men were more likely to struggle and be stressed during tax submission. The main barrier for those finding the process challenging was a lack of financial literacy. However, three in ten Australians reported enjoying completing their tax returns, and two-thirds found it easy.

The American Spectator: Robert Caro’s Curious Incuriosity: What About LBJ and the Kennedy Assassination?
Renowned biographer Robert Caro has been criticized for avoiding the central mystery of President John F. Kennedy's assassination in his book about Lyndon B. Johnson. Despite his reputation for exhaustive research and attention to detail, Caro seems uninterested in exploring the many pieces of evidence linking LBJ to the assassination. This has led Roger Stone and others to suggest that Caro's credibility as a historian would be damaged if he delved too deeply into the topic. Meanwhile, other researchers disagree over the role of Lee Harvey Oswald in the assassination, confirming that the central mystery still remains unsolved six decades later.

The majority of cases in 2021 were spread through sexual contact at Pride events, leading to more than 30,000 cases and 40 deaths. Health officials and event organizers are optimistic that a larger supply of vaccine and more people with immunity will lead to fewer and less severe cases this year, but warn of a false sense of security as cases are still being reported in other countries. A recent CDC study estimated a 50% or higher risk of mpox outbreaks in 10 of 50 counties studied.

Daily Wire: ‘Flag Football’: NFL Coaches, Players Slam New Kickoff Fair-Catch Rule
NFL coaches and players, including Andy Reid and John Harbaugh, have criticized a new kickoff fair-catch rule that the league owners passed for a year-long trial.

The intention behind the rule is to decrease injuries, but coaches argue that it will make the game more prone to high-speed head trauma, and strike out the excitement of opening plays.
